Since commit a937b6aa73 (qapi: Reformat doc comments to conform to
current conventions), a number of comments not conforming to the
current formatting conventions were added. No problem, just sweep
the entire documentation once more.
To check the generated documentation does not change, I compared the
generated HTML before and after this commit with "wdiff -3". Finds no
differences. Comparing with diff is not useful, as the reflown
paragraphs are visible there.

# Virtual CPU model.
|
|
#
|
|
# A CPU model consists of the name of a CPU definition, to which delta
|
|
# changes are applied (e.g. features added/removed). Most magic values
|
|
# that an architecture might require should be hidden behind the name.
|
|
# However, if required, architectures can expose relevant properties.
|
|
#
|
|
# @name: the name of the CPU definition the model is based on
|

# An enumeration of CPU model expansion types.
|
|
#
|
|
# @static: Expand to a static CPU model, a combination of a static
|
|
# base model name and property delta changes. As the static base
|
|
# model will never change, the expanded CPU model will be the
|
|
# same, independent of QEMU version, machine type, machine
|
|
# options, and accelerator options. Therefore, the resulting
|
|
# model can be used by tooling without having to specify a
|
|
# compatibility machine - e.g. when displaying the "host" model.
|
|
# The @static CPU models are migration-safe.
|
|
#
|
|
# @full: Expand all properties. The produced model is not guaranteed
|
|
# to be migration-safe, but allows tooling to get an insight and
|
|
# work with model details.
|
|
#
|
|
# Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static
|
|
# mode, some features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted,
|
|
# because they can't be implemented by a static CPU model
|
|
# definition (e.g. cache info passthrough and PMU passthrough in
|
|
# x86). If you need an accurate representation of the features
|
|
# enabled by a non-migration-safe CPU model, use @full. If you
|
|
# need a static representation that will keep ABI compatibility
|
|
# even when changing QEMU version or machine-type, use @static
|
|
# (but keep in mind that some features may be omitted).
